Raptors, Wizards stand together to honour Toronto after van attack

Watch as the Toronto Raptors hold a moment of silence to honour the victims of Monday's tragic events.

Toronto Raptor and Washington Wizard players held up Toronto Strong banners as the national anthems were played prior to Game 5 of their NBA first-round playoff series Wednesday.

The anthems followed a moment of silence in memory of the 10 people killed and 14 injured in Monday’s horrific van attack in north Toronto.

PA announcer Herbie Kuhn told the Air Canada Crowd that the Raptors, Wizards and NBA would be making donations to the TorontoStrong Fund set up by the city of Toronto. The fund had raised more than $413,000 as of 5:30 p.m. ET Wednesday.

"Toronto will be forever strong," said Kuhn, prompting a round of loud applause.
